00:00How are the vegetables and crops in Atok, Benguet after being covered by frost or hail?
00:10Farmers are searching for their crops so that they will not be damaged by the severe cold.
00:15In the neighboring town of La Trinidad and Baguio City, the temperature today dropped to 12.9 degrees Celsius.
00:22That is the lowest temperature in the current harvest season,
00:25but according to the forecast, it is possible that it will drop even more in the coming weeks.
00:33He's lying.
00:34That is the direct answer of President Bongbong Marcos to former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:38Duterte has already condemned the blanco rau in the BICAM report of the 2025 National Budget,
00:44so it should not be included in the law.
00:47Jonathan Andar has a report.
00:48This is the blanco rau.
00:55This is the blanco rau.
00:58Former President Rodrigo Duterte's plans are heavy up to the 2025 National Budget.
01:03Under Duterte's control, he has already copied the BICAM report.
01:08Blanco rau is the important ingredient for their items.
01:12Most of these are in the funds of the Department of Agriculture.
01:16Because of this, the 2025 General Appropriations Act, signed by President Bongbong Marcos, is illegal and cannot be implemented.
01:24That is forcification of law, criminal action.
01:30You can all go to jail for that.
01:33The former chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Davao Congressman Isidro Ungab,
01:38noticed the blanco rau.
01:40He's lying.
01:43He's a president.
01:44He's a president.
01:45He knows that you cannot pass a GAA without a blank.
01:49In the history of the Philippines,
01:53GAA is not allowed to have an item
01:58that does not state what the project is,
02:02and what the cost is, what the fund is.
02:07Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin called Duterte's statement a fake news.
02:12He also said that spreading it is a crime.
02:15Hundreds of government officials agreed to each of the more than 4,000 pages of the budget before it was passed into law.
02:23The BICAM report is the result of the violation of a different version of the General Appropriations Bill, or GAB,
02:29passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives.
02:32After joining the BICAM, the House of Representatives and the Senate,
02:35the GAB's unified version will be submitted to the President for study.
02:40It is time for the President to sign the GAB so that it can be passed into law.
02:43This is now called the General Appropriations Act, or GAA.
02:47According to J-Maintegrated News Research,
02:50in Duterte's recent document,
02:52the value of Blanco will be replaced by more than P74.57 billion of NIA,
02:58or National Irrigation Administration,
03:00under the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Program, or AFMP, of the Department of Agriculture.
03:05But in 2025, GAA will not be Blanco.
03:08NIA has a allocation of P56.42 billion for AFMP.
03:13According to the Department of Budget and Management,
03:15the GAB was submitted to the President with a complete document and no blank pages or missing details.
03:21As Duterte's defense,
03:23his former Presidential Spokesperson and Attorney Salvador Panelo said
03:27that the former President only expressed his legal opinion,
03:30and if there is a basis, there should be an answer.
03:32Unga's question is, how complete is the GAA if there is a blank in the BICAM report?
03:37Why did the lawmakers signed the so-called Defective BICAM Report and ratified it?
03:43And why did the President sign a Defective Law?
03:47It is possible that Unga joined the petitioners who are asking the Supreme Court
03:52to declare the 2025 budget invalid and unconstitutional.
03:57First, Malacanang said that they trust the GAA law,
04:00but they cannot stop it if there is a question in the Supreme Court.
04:05Jonathan Andal reporting for GMA Integrated News.
04:36According to the security agency, the GAA did not delay the work of the guards,
04:40but they did not let them in while they are conducting their own investigation.
04:45They will also add programs and training for their guards.

09:34Security is tight around the U.S. Capitol.
09:37He will hold his inauguration as the 47th U.S. President in order to avoid the cold weather outside.
09:45The indoor inauguration of Ronald Reagan's second term was also held.
09:50Earlier, Donald and Melania Trump's spouses attended a church service in Washington, D.C.
09:57This is Trump's second and last term as a convicted felon who will become the next U.S. President.

10:12Three members of Hamas were released on the first day of the ceasefire by Israel in Gaza.
10:21They are the three Israeli women who were included in Hamas' arrests.
10:25The group withdrew from Israel on October 7, 2023.
10:29After being released from Gaza, they were brought to a hospital in Israel where they were admitted by their loved ones.
10:38In exchange for the release of three Israeli women, Israel sent 70 Palestinians to help them.
10:45This is part of the Phase 1 of the ceasefire agreement that states that 33 Israeli hostages need to be released within six weeks in exchange for almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
10:59But three hours after the ceasefire was signed by Israel in Gaza, Hamas did not immediately give the names of the missing hostages.
11:0813 Palestinians were injured.
11:19The goal of a hiker is not a summit but the base camp of the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest.
11:26But that's not a joke. It's almost twice as high as Mount Apo.
11:30Let's check it out with Marie Zumali.
11:36As the song goes, there's no mountain high enough, even Mount Everest.
11:41In 2006 and 2007, several Filipinos and Filipinas reached the top of the highest mountain in the world.
11:50And for every mountaineer whose target is high, they need to reach Everest Base Camp or EBC.
11:57JN reached it last year.
12:00When I launched Everest Base Camp, I was the only one.
12:05I do a lot of down-climbers, even if it's not professional.
12:08That's the only end goal, to reach Everest Base Camp.
12:14It should not be smaller than 5,300 meters above sea level.
12:18Because it's equivalent to Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines.
12:24It took more than a week to prepare or acclimatize to endure the altitude,
12:29besides the cold, as well as the difficulty in breathing under low air pressure.
12:34In addition, the right clothing should be prepared.
12:37The hike will take up to 12 days.
12:39There are accommodations as a stopover that are comfortable and have delicious food.
12:44Even if you can't reach the summit, the view of Everest and the Himalayan range is still rewarding.
12:50You need to be strong-willed.
12:52Once you reach the end point, the base camp,
12:56tell yourself that it's all worth it.
